As the commander, Bai Lao naturally knew better than anyone else that after losing supplies from the royal family, the morale of his soldiers, and even the commanders, was already faintly low.

The most critical thing is that after experiencing several wars, although the soldiers have been replenished, the problem of equipment shortage has not been solved, and we can only repair it ourselves.

With the number of blacksmiths and blacksmiths accompanying the army being limited, some recruits even had no armor to wear, which greatly affected the overall combat effectiveness and morale of the legion.

And if supplies can be obtained, the Fortress Legion will undoubtedly be able to return to its combat strength close to its peak in a short period of time!

In the critical moment when the Holy Night Army may attack the city at any time, improving combat power is the chance of survival!

While he was overjoyed, Bai Lao became hesitant again, frowning at Lei Xiao and saying, "But Your Excellency, guest, it seems a little inappropriate to do this, right?"

The reason why Bai Lao hesitated was because the legion in his hands was loyal to the old king after all. If he accepted supplies from outside the royal family, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.

"Old General Bai is worrying too much."

Lei Xiao saw what the other party was thinking, smiled lightly and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess represents the royal family. There is no essential difference between accepting the equipment and supplies from Her Royal Highness the Princess and accepting the royal family. Furthermore, once

Wouldn’t it be more natural for Her Royal Highness the Princess to aspire to the throne and become the new king of Leng Yan?”

"Then I would rather be respectful than obey your orders."

Bai Lao pondered for a moment, then nodded gratefully and said: "Thank you, Your Excellency, Guest Minister and Your Highness the Princess!"

"Old General Bai is too polite. I have to trouble you to control these fallen noble defenders in the past few days."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then said: "In addition, when I further stabilize this area, I will also dispatch troops to help guard the mountain fortress."

"Looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from Your Majesty the Guest!"

Bai Lao nodded without hesitation and responded: "While Your Excellency Ke Qing is away, leave everything here to me."

"Then I'll trouble General Bai."
